It would have been another one shell, but we all know chubbs' "Operation" was a success and he now drives an MX5!

Oh, and will be great to meet finally :-)

dem fighting words!

you know what they say, "if you can't beat em, put crap on em"

Man i'm looking forward to this! It'll be the first track day with the GTR.

Hey as for meeting up, my place is on the way so i reckon we meet at mine at 5am, can on for an hour or two, get the passengers to drive down so we sober up, then hit the track :-)

Really, only two gtst's!! man.....im gonna get schooled big time!!

Continuing the schmack talk......i once dated a girl briefly that had an MX5....she sold it, couldnt handle the embarassment and bought herself a scooter instead.

Let me recap..........a chick bought a scooter cause she thought her mx5 was too gay

I will eat these words :D

Sup Ian!!! Good to see you haven't missed an opportunity to have a swipe at the chubbeh mobile :)

Be good to see some tug boats (R33's) out there!!!

Bring it, all of you :D

Ahahaha don't go getting your knickers in a twist now...

just go order your double mocha frappe latte with extra marshmallow :D

BUT....

To add to this little banter, I am proposing if you in-fact are slower than the MX5 *cough* wiggles car *cough* you have to have reap the repercussions at Chubbehs discretion.... :D

Looks like Ive missed the boat as no one has got back to me. :D

You're all lucky I'm not coming as Ive found my lucky socks under the lounge and with them on i would have ruled the world.

Easy chubbs,

We all take each other for a spin and decide who was quickest. If we can't pick a winner, then we settle it like men!

Nipple Cripples at 10 paces!!

Mark,

I've paid and am on the list but no one's confirmed with me either. I'm gonna jump on autosports and check now.

Oh, and will be great to meet finally :-)

yep for sure!!

Really, only two gtst's!! man.....im gonna get schooled big time!!

entrant No.37 just says skyline, so he could be a gtst... but besides that, yep just us! :D

Supras are a bit whale-like too and there's lots of them entered so maybe we wont feel so alone after all ;)

Sheesh i would hope you get more than 1 hours sleep with all the driving to do on Sunday!!! :D

I might have to skip a day & not sleep friday night to make myself tired enough :D I needs some sleeping tablets or something!

Also...theres no official timing....so how do we know?

*bags not timing everyone LOL*

thank god!!!! I dont want to see how slow I am!! haha :laugh:

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
